With so many beautiful products, it can be tempting to fill your basket, but there is little point in buying bath bombs if you never take a bath. Choose the products that best suit your habits. For those that take regular baths, bath bars are an excellent option. They do away with packaging and can be used multiple times. For the occasional but luxurious soak, why not try a bath bomb instead?
For those that shower every day, it's best to opt for a shower gel. Lush provides a wide range made from natural ingredients that come in recycled bottles. There are scents to suit all tastes and bottle sizes suitable for travel, single people, small and larger families. For a more vigorous shower, why not try an exfoliating scrub or body wash with a zingy scent?
It's always a good idea to apply some moisturiser or body butter after your shower or bath, especially if you use hot water!
Not all products suit everyone's skin but don't worry because Lush has adapted their cosmetics to suit many different skin types. While they only use natural ingredients, they may not be suitable if you have allergies, so always check before buying. Below, we've noted some of the most common Lush ingredients and their benefits.
Aloe Vera is a wonder ingredient that can be used for all sorts of things, from inflammation to sunburn. Check out our top 10 Aloe Vera gels and experience all this product has to offer!
If you're looking for a decadent soak rather than a nourishing treatment, there are plenty of products to choose from. Why not opt for your favourite scent? Depending on what time of day you take your bath or shower, Lush will have just the thing!
For example, fragrances best suited to the morning are zingy citrusy smells such as lemon or orange, which will help wake you up. Or if you prefer to bath at the end of the day, try something more calming like lavender or chamomile to help you relax before bed.
One of the best things about Lush is that it's about as sustainable as you can get! While we're still catching up on reducing our plastic waste, Lush cut theirs down years ago. Lush's bottles are all made from recycled plastic, and they offer a 'return your bottles to store' policy. They also have options that cut out packaging entirely. If you want to go down this route, simply opt for bubble bars to replace large plastic bottles.
As Lush uses only natural ingredients, some are derived from animal products, for example, honey, and therefore they are not all suitable for vegans. That said, Lush do have a vegan range, which is still extensive, so you can be sure you find products to suit your lifestyle. Thankfully, Lush has a strict no animal testing policy, so you can always buy from them in confidence!

This is one of Lush's best products that completely cuts out any packaging. These bubble bars can be used multiple times for a foamy, relaxing soak, with just as many bubbles as you are used to, if not more. There's no better product to replace your usual bubble bath bottle than with this eco-friendly alternative!
The 'Sleepy' bubble bar takes our top spot due to its deeply relaxing lavender aroma. If you dream of the most relaxing bath ever, then this bar will take you there. Simply run the tap, break off a section of the bar and crumble it into the water. Soak into the comforting scents, then head to bed for sweet lavender dreams.
This shower gel smells as though you are bathing in a pot of honey. Rich and luxurious scents that will even entice the kids to take a shower. Like all other Lush products, this is made from natural ingredients and safe synthetics, so it should suit even the smallest members of the household.
Available in bottles as small as 100 g, perfect for popping in your backpack when travelling, to family-sized 1 kg bottles, simply choose which one suits your lifestyle. The honey also hydrates and cleanses your skin as you lather up, leaving you feeling fresh and ready for the day.
Who doesn't love a novelty product, and let's face it, showering in jelly sounds like a pretty novel way to start the day. This shower 'Jelly' is infused with a delicious raspberry and vanilla fragrance that will linger long after your shower is over.
If the scent doesn't do it alone, then alongside Lush's strict no animal cruelty promise, they can big up that this is one of their 100% vegan products, meaning no animal products have gone into the manufacturing process at all.
Next up, we have another packaging-free bath bomb. Bath bombs are a perfect alternative to regular bubble baths, plus, who doesn't love watching them fizz their way around the tub? Just remember to keep this bomb cool and dry before bath time to ensure the best effect.
Once submerged in water, it releases countless dried rose petals among the fizz so you can bathe in a rose-infused bath. Being a heart-shaped Tisty-Toasty bath bomb, it's the perfect gift for a loved one.
There is something worthy about starting the day with a steaming cup of green tea, and the same goes for starting your day with this bubble bar. Sprinkle between a third and a half of this bar into your bath and invigorate your senses with the aroma of Matcha. It almost feels like sitting in a giant cup of tea!
Another offering from Lush's vegan range, this bubble bar can be used two to three times depending on how much product you use. In our opinion, it's a very worthy winner of the number five spot.
This orange body scrub is like a ray of sunshine, instantly transporting you to the orange groves in Florida. For a gentle scrub, use it on wet skin in the shower, or for a more vigorous one, try scrubbing when your skin is dry before stepping under the water.
This scrub is made from sea salt and harvested by hand from salt plains in Bulgaria, so it is an excellent exfoliant. We especially love how the fragrance stays on you for hours after your shower, meaning you can take that fruity smell with you wherever you go.
This rose shower gel goes one step further than your standard rose garden scents. Lush have added Sicilian Lemon and Geranium to give this bottle a sweet sugary kick, reminiscent of delicious piles of rose Turkish Delight. The product also comes in a range of sizes, from 100 g to 1 kg bottles.
Don't forget to return your bottle to make use of their in-store scheme, where you can receive some of your money back by handing over your used bottles. These are then recycled over and over again!
Let's face it, the winters in the UK are far from reliable. Snow and sleet one day and pouring rain the next. This can have a severe impact on skin, with many of us suffering from outbreaks or dry, flaky patches. This chocolate body wash has been designed to deal with all the common British Winter skin issues.
This vegan-friendly wash is packed full of aloe vera and glycerine to hydrate and smooth over your weather-beaten skin. The delectable chocolate scents will also warm and nourish your senses - just like a hug in a tub.
Ceridwen's Cauldron, as the name suggests, has magical powers for helping alleviate dry and flaky skin. Working like a giant teabag, drop the whole lot into the bath, still wrapped in its muslin cloth and watch the milky oats dissolve into your tub. This is the perfect option for those with sensitive skin, and with scents of frankincense, rose, and sandalwood, it smells gorgeous too.
Customers have said that the smell isn't as powerful as it once was, so if you have used this product in the past, you may be disappointed. That said, this now makes it more suited to those who prefer a subtle smell.
If you have any Disney loving princesses at home, then this is the bubble bar for you. This cute, pale blue star definitely looks like it has just stepped out of Frozen, and we are certain Elsa must be a fan of the sweet, minty scent.
Drop the bubble bar under the tap or sweep it across the water once you are in to release the magical bubbles. The only downside to this one is that there isn't more of it. Similar to the bath bombs, this bar is only really suitable for one use, so the value for money isn't as good as some of our higher ranking products.
As mentioned above, some of Lush's products do contain animal products such as honey. However, they also have a wide range of vegan products, so you shouldn't have any problem finding some that you like.
Anything that dissolves in water like bath bombs or bath bars, you need to keep away from moisture and humidity (a tupperware box should be fine), and items like face masks should be stored in the fridge. If in doubt, check the Lush website for storing details.
As Lush has become more and more popular, they no longer solely produce their products in the UK - they are now made all over the world. Their main factories are in England, Germany, Croatia, Australia and Canada.
